Very interesting and this just reminded me that I should consolidate all my possible worldwide forgeries instead of just adding notes in my worldwide Scott albums, where I will forget where they are. I love informative philatelic videos. Thanks:)

(They are much less commonly applied in the destination country if they have not also been marked in the country of sending.) The mark is taxing for 15 gold centimes.
